I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

More quotes by Bruno Mars
I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I'm learning every day. And that's the fun part.
Bruno Mars
I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).
Bruno Mars
I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.
Bruno Mars
I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.
Bruno Mars
What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.
Bruno Mars
I got so much love for classical music and I hear so much incredible music.You should know a bunch of music and have respect for all sorts of genres and styles of music.
Bruno Mars
I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.
Bruno Mars
Whether it be a reggae song, rock song, a love song, the main thing was just to, whatever I was feeling, to try to capture that emotion.
Bruno Mars
I'm the Nickelodeon version of DangerMouse.
Bruno Mars
My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.
Bruno Mars
Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitar player in the world... a guy who mastered that instrument. It was talking when he played. And when he did a solo, he made the guitar cry - or made it sound like it was coming from the devil's amplifier.
Bruno Mars
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
Bruno Mars
I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.
Bruno Mars
As proud as I am of Doo-Wops I feel like, 'Oh, man. People haven't seen nothing. They don't even know what I'm about to do,' and that's what I can't wait to show the world.
Bruno Mars
I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan.
Bruno Mars
You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!
Bruno Mars
Songwriters, you have to work - you have to wait for residuals. You have to pray that the song's going to be a hit. And then a year later, you might get a check.
Bruno Mars
We all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
Bruno Mars
Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.
Bruno Mars
A lot of people are really quick to say, That song sounds like this. Or you - He's tryin' to sound like this. And I'm always like, You're damn right I am. That's how - that's why we're all here. You know, we all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
